Tattoo Removal Aftercare Advice

The following notes are important. Please read them carefully.

Before Treatment

• Avoid exposure to sunlight, sun-beds and fake tan for at least 4 weeks.

• If the tattooed area is covered by hair, please shave the area 1 day prior to treatment.

• Do advise us of any change in medication.


After Treatment

• If the skin has not broken, a dry sterile dressing will be placed over the treated area to protect it.

• The area will become raised and feel hot and can be cooled with the use of a cold compress, ice pack or a pack of peas from the freezer wrapped in a clean cloth.

(Do not apply ice directly to the skin as this can cause a burn).

• As long as the skin is unbroken cooling products such as Aloe Vera gel can be used to give relief to the sunburn type feeling of the treated area.

• E45 cream, Aloe Vera gel or Vaseline can be used to relieve the itching which normally occurs 3-5 days after the treatment.


Whilst Healing

• Avoid restrictive clothing.

• Avoid perfume or body lotions to the area.

• Avoid hot baths or continuous soaking.

• Avoid heat treatments such as saunas and steam rooms.

• Avoid swimming.

• Avoid lying in the sun or using sun beds.

• Avoid picking at any scabs.

• Avoid allowing the area to become scrapped.


Take great care of the treated area in order to obtain the best end result.
